And I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

I’m incredibly excited to announce the next step of the Call Me Ishmael project: first a blog, then a band, and now, with your support, A BOOK!!!

That’s right, I’m raising funds to turn the Call Me Ishmael project into a beautiful, illustrated, hardcover book, including the lyrics to all 136 songs from the project, the full text of Moby-Dick, corresponding annotations connecting the lyrics to the novel itself, and illustrations of about a third of the songs. Every book sale will also include a digital download of all eight volumes of music from the project.

Please visit my Kickstarter page for more information, to see the great rewards for donating, and of course, to donate. I truly appreciate any support you can offer. I also appreciate your help in spreading the word — please forward this email to everyone you know so we can make this book come to life!!!

PS — Remember to come see us play at Pianos, every Thursday in March (1, 8, 15, 22, 29) from 7-10. Each night is arranged around a different theme, with great acts to watch and activities to participate in!!! More to come later.
